Day 1, they set a 138km up and down the milk run, conditions
look fantastic and I can't believe the task choice. Unfortunately one glider
tumbled at Dormilos and under an unsuccessfully deployed chute he came down
inverted behind the main Dormilos ridge in a pretty inaccessible area, despite
the chute not opening... mehr

9:00 AM (20 mph gusting to 29 mph), and then the wind doesn't lay down until
